Here is Isabella's character bio:

in Anthropology in Indian Artifacts and Culture from the University of Arizona.

Western Hemisphere. A child prodigy she has always been fascinated by the
Native American people. Her great, great, great, great grandfather had a Hopi
mother. She did her Anthropology thesis on the migration of Central, and South
American Natives to North America.
A book worm young woman who goes braless because she has
little to keep in bra cups, wears cotton tank tops and swirly, embroidered
skirts, round glasses, long, straight, braided dark brown hair. She watches Indiana Jones movies over and
over and wishes she could be brave and tough like him. Her intelligence is a
plus for remembering dates and artifacts from ancient countries. A female
McGyver. She picks up the native
language from books but hasn't the knack for the dialogue.
She brings a vest with many pockets. Items in pockets are:
dental floss, a small tooth brush, duct tape, paper clips, tissue, medicine-
aspirin, anti-inflammatory, antihistamines,-
collapsible cup, water purifying tablets, nail clippers, Swiss army
knife, bandages, local medicinal plant
book, journal, travel book, map.

Mini magnesium fire starter and tinder tabs. One inch candle, 2 quart-sized zip-lock bags, a glass vial of 20 water purification tablets, 50 ft. of braided fishing line on a sewing bobbin, plastic tube of hooks and swivels, 10 ft. of 24 gauge snare wire.

I love Isabella's vest-of-many-pockets! Nothing like being prepared! Great post!
Thanks, Sarah!
Love the female-McGyver description. It fits Isabella to a "T". And I agree with Sarah, Isabella's vest-of-many-pockets gives her a treasure trove of possibilities.
Thanks for the free story! I love the Isabella books. She is truly a female McGyver.
